Sayings to Inspire Installed at TAMIU's
Student Center

While the Texas A&M International University Student
Center has been called the "living room" of the
University, visitors will find that they can still learn and
expand their minds while relaxing. Over the various hallway
entrances are quotes specifically selected for their
inspirational and pithy content. (photo)

Memorable words from such luminaries as John F. Kennedy, Anne
Frank and Miguel de Cervantes Saavedra provide quiet inspiration
to all in the form of faux stone plaques, recently installed as
called for by the building's original design.

Joe García, Vice President for Finance and Administration,
explained that his office as well as the Office of the President,
in consultation with other campus members, searched for suitable
quotes.

"These inspirational quotations were requested by the
donor who assisted in making the Student Center possible. After
selecting the 22 finalists, we took the more powerful and
inspirational ones and had them installed around the rotunda on
both floors," explained García.

So be sure to look up when visiting the Student Center.
